I love beating the imp premades with pugs but it also helps if you have teammates from known guilds ie Don't Panic, Synergy, Hey I'm NOT MVP, etc. It only becomes a nightmare when you have some of the unknown guilds even I didn't know existed on the Pubs usually sporting PvE armor (I swear I'm seeing more of them daily). But after rateds die down we still need to do our dailies on alts so I'll solo queue for a bit and usually see the W/L ratio about 60% wins and 40% losses but on huttball it's usually 80-20% with imps usually winning that one. Pub PUGs just seem to want to teamdeath match that one. I do however notice the imp premades abuse the bubble stun more than the pubs, but that is in their nature so it's to be expected.

No I just forget certain classes are blessed with multiple viable pvp specs so usually when I see a sin or shadow I assume they are all the same spec. Forgive me for not recognizing which one was the OP one I just shelved my VR 100 scrapper in favor of a sent since people are upset that being "2-shot" will make them sad and unsub. But seriously what harm can a small energy buff do it's not like there are many scrappers left to utilize it.

Just trying to figure out the mindset of the community being ok with one stealth class DPS and not the other. I guess having a glowstick makes it ok...

Sins have the same type of opening but instead knocking you down on the first hit they are able to use it out of stealth as well then they can stun lock you to death as well while keeping you force slowed forever, also if you somehow manage to survive that and gain some distance they can either pull you back to them or force speed towards you then hit their IWIN button. But that is fair because they are a glowbat user and that's ok right? Oh I forgot to mention they are doing all of this and guarding a teammate at the same time...

MacBook Pro Laptop without numpad keys and the command key disabled. Logitech Marathon mouse with the side keys bound to my free attack and CC break. Everything key bound even the target markers.

In a rock, paper, scissors system I demand to be dynamite and blow things up or I'm going to unsub. Also we missed the operative nerf last patch and for some reason you nerfed our least played spec so we're going to demand that to be reverted or I'm gonna unsub. Also we need another IWIN button Guarded by Bioware isn't enough to get me out of harm's way after I leap and derpasmash the lesser classes for 6k.

You mean like how operatives and scoundrels have been pigeonholed into only being healers if they want to feel useful?

Don't forget the massive faction imbalance too the republic would get zerged from the start.

I solo PUG a lot I have a VR 100 and rarely did ranked except when heal spec'd (DPS scoundrel not wanted in ranked go figure) and I can see why they want their own queue it's the same people that want to ignore the objectives and just have a team death match. I can't count how many times I've seen 0-0 huttball matches with the winner decided by who has the ball last or Civil Wars with sides being capped with no inc calls. I've actually seen people complain about not having heals since they refuse to peel for the healers they do have and in turn get blown up by a melee gank squad. It's these selfish players (usually melee DPSers) that make WZs a nightmare for the "other classes". So how do players that play to the objectives deal with PUGs that play "solo"? We group with like-minded individuals and use teamwork to beat the solo-minded players easily with teamwork like peels for healers and guard for those getting focus fired. So if you're probably wondering how to tell who's a team player and who's a solo player. I create little "tests" like if I mezz someone to cap a node and if the player next to me breaks my mezz to do DPS on mezz'd opponent then that player is what many people like to call "bad" and only cares about their stats if that same player leaves the mezz'd guy alone until the cap finishes then that player is "good" and if the same player uses his own CC after mine expires to improve the chance of a cap then that person is a great player and usually the kind you want in rateds. Also when most of us are in vent/mumble/skype or w/e we usually don't really talk about the current warzone usually it's just random crap that is amusing to us. Occasionally we'll chat about the WZ and how bad some of the players are. As for other complaints about full WH geared opponents in regulars, please remember that not all classes are wanted in rateds DPS scoundrels/commandos/sages these players like myself have been on their toons since the beginnning and have no intentions to retire them due to uselessness in rateds but we still want to PvP with them so yes you will often run into these BiS underpowered classes that can faceroll your FOTM and soon FOTY. This doesn't mean the class doesn't need help because these players have mastered their toons and can wreck your face in PUGs. So until we stop seeing the usual "rated" composition and give some other classes a usefulness in rateds then I will gladly stomp your solo-minded PUG face into the ground then you can come here and complain about us needing nerfs or your own bracket. Just remember we pay the same 15 dollars as you do and have right to play as we want to as well.

Then just go derpasmash like Bioware wants you to since their metrics say there are not enough so they nerf all other viable specs. Just be happy you have 2 other specs that work unlike some other "DPS" classes.

^^ this guy speaks the truth What bioware does know is that they can't nerf maras/sents because that's their meal ticket those derpasmashers are paying their bills. So just join the FOTM train and save yourself the headache.
